Local winery has raised over $138,000 for breast cancer services over the past twelve years through its Drink Pink fundraiser.
Adirondack Winery is proud to announce another successful year of their Drink Pink breast cancer awareness fundraiser. As a result of the campaign, Adirondack Winery raised over $22,000 for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of the Adirondacks thanks to the support of its customers, staff, friends, family, and other local businesses.
From mid-September to the end of October, a portion of every purchase made at Adirondack Winery was donated to Making Strides. The winery raised funds this year in a variety of ways, including the sale of its Drink Pink Berry Breeze, a limited-edition version of its mixed berry rosé that has a pink cap and label. Much of the donation was also raised via the sale of wine, accessories, and raffle ticket sales. Thanks to local businesses donating their products and services, the winery was able to compile multiple high-value raffle baskets for customers to enter for a chance to win. 100% of raffle basket ticket proceeds were donated and the winery was able to raise over $5,600 from raffle tickets alone.
“We are blown away by the support of our customers, staff, friends, family, and community year after year,” said Adirondack Winery President and Co-Owner Sasha Pardy. “Giving back to the community is very important to us as a company and this disease has touched far too many people around us. Whether it’s a family member, friend, or customer – we want to be there to support.”
Adirondack Winery was the Flagship sponsor of the local Making Strides event in Glens Falls on Sunday, Oct. 27th. Together, dozens of teams raised over $64,000 for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of the Adirondacks.
Making Strides is an event held across the country, organized by the American Cancer Society.
“We are so proud and grateful of our local flagship sponsor surpassing their self-set goal of $20K,” the American Cancer Society’s Senior Development Manager Nick Liporace states. “Just because Drink Pink & October are over doesn’t mean the support and need goes away. The Adirondack Winery’s support helps fund year-round resources that anyone needing breast cancer-related support can benefit from. We at the American Cancer Society are so appreciative of this support and wish the winery and its customers a Happy Holiday season and well wishes to partner again in 2025.”
Over the past twelve years, Adirondack Winery has raised over $138,000 for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of the Adirondacks during its Drink Pink fundraiser, and they don’t plan to stop any time soon!
